Bari Kothi has been the home for one of the most notable men in the region, Rai Bahadur Budh Singh Dudhoria and as such Bari Kothi has royalty in its DNA. Unfortunately because of the downfall of the region, the royalty and lifestyle that the house once exhibited remains just a story on the walls, Bari Kothi still understands hospitality and offers luxury and royalty in all its experiences. The Eco-system of the region has entirely changed not allowing Bari Kothi and its surroundings to be as it used to be 200 years back but Bari Kothi surely knows how to define Rustic Luxury.

Description

After being locked down for half a century, ‘Bari Kothi’, 4 hours from Kolkata, located on the banks of River Ganges was magically restored, over 5 years, into the first, rustic, luxury heritage hotel of its kind in East India led by brother-sister duo Darshan Dudhoria & Lipika Dudhoria. They engaged Canadian restoration specialist architect Dr. Samar Chandra to restore Bari Kothi, which later turned to a zero waste project. Functioning on the principle of adaptive reuse, Bari Kothi is completely taken care of by the local community.

Erstwhile Zamindars of Murshidabad, the Dudhoria family migrated from Rajasthan to Azimganj on the call of the soon to be famed ‘world banker’ Jagat Seth. The ‘Sheherwalis’ as they like to call themselves were Jains setting up businesses in the erstwhile district of Maksudabad, now known as Murshidabad. Budh Singh Dudhoria did not only carry out a successful business but was devoted in philanthropic activities such as feeding the poor, furthering the cause of female education, building shelters for the homeless and many charitable funds. As his charities extended, so did his reputation, and when Sir Ashley Eden, then Lieutenant-Governor of the then Bengal, visited Jangipore, he was conferred with the title of ‘Rai Bahadur’
